I'm bothered that the first two seasons, especially season one, of EARTH FINAL CONFLICT have not been released in R1. It is my absolute most wanted release. Nothing tops it.

Which TV series will NEVER make it to DVD?
The world is destroyed when kids accidently set off a nuclear missile causing the Russians to counterattack. Only six people are left in the US; Mark, the narrator, an ex-school teacher; Alice, a feminist; Curtis, a yuppie stock broker; Jack, a homeless person; Frederick, a black pathologist; and Suzzane, a sexy dummy.
After an innocent misunderstanding leads to nuclear Armageddon, the only six people left alive on Earth make their way to a farm in the middle of nowhere. There, in a series of hi-jinx adventures, the misfits must put aside their differences for the sake of the species.

"''It'' hit the television world on February 24, 1978 like a galaxy-class starship slamming into a Quasi-norm.

The short-lived series featured Richard Benjamin as Adam Quark along with his crazy crew aboard a spacefaring garbage scow. "

Two shows come to mind and people from the UK might possibly know them. The first is the Bob Mills presented "In Bed With Medinner" which is a brilliant clip show and really funny. I think the reason why they can't release it is due to copyright problems with all the old clips.
The second show is "The Incredibly Strange Film Show" that ran in the late 80s early 90s and was presented by Johnathan Ross. It was an amazing show where each episode looked at the work of a different movie maker/director/actor. The amount of interviews for the show and everything about it was fantastic. There were episodes on John Waters, Jackie Chan, Ed Wood (First time i heard of him was watching this show), Sam Raimi (Which you actually get the episode on one of the Evil Dead DVDs), Russ Meyer, Lovecraft Movies, Fred Olen Ray, El Santo. The show was brilliant, but again i heard it was caught up in a lot of copyright wrangles. Damn shame.

I'm worried about more Simon & Simon, there has been zero news on season 2.
Square Pegs.
Square Pegs.
im also worried that we will never see season 5 of nypd: blue. but that happened with season 2 were we didn't see season 3 out on dvd for a long time then suddenly fox gave us 2 season within 3 months, hopefully thats the case and they are still planning on releasing more seasons.
Cold Case will never see the light of day on DVD. The music alone would make the season sets unaffordable.
theres a shitload of shows that need to be release or release more seasons of, come on studios!

I wish James Garner's Turn-of-Century Western "Nichols" would be come out on DVD.
I doubt it will ever happen.
A "Nichols" episode or two would have been a nice Bonus Feature on the Rockford Files DVDs.

How about "Two Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place" ??? I've seen much worse shows get released. I really enjoyed this one.
You would think with Ryan Reynolds emerging as a film actor and Traylor Howard being in a supporting role in the hit show, 'Monk' that the show would get a release.

As I had said previously, Boomtown s2 is not coming out. But there were a few other post that had some in there:
Touching Evil (US) - Actually had a release, albeit a few episodes on a Universal Sampler.
Maverick - This one might come out. WB tested the waters...not sure how it went.
Karen Sisco - I had read somewhere they are trying to get that one out. Something about who owned the rights (ABC aired it, but re-runs were on USA I believe)
Smith - I think we will see that one. With the shows hitting the web, I am almost sure it will come out.
Six Million Dollar Man - Came out overseas and with the Bionic Woman being remade, I think this one has hope too.
Duckman - Yup I have to agree, not happening. The animation company (the ones that did Rugrats) never ever ever speak about this show. Shame too.
Get Smart - Already out and it an awesome set.
That's My Bush - Already out too.
MOD Squad - Being worked on...according to tvshowsondvd.com
But just my two cents.

The Boomtown thing really pissed me off. Why couldn't they have released the complete series since Season 2 was only 6 episodes? I believe season 1 was only 18 episodes, so that would have been only 24 episodes total, which is normal for TV on DVD sets. Season 2 was short, but had some really compelling stories and I really liked the addition of Vanessa Williams as a new Detective.
